Review: "It's a hit every time with Glossybox. There's always something new I wouldn't have necessarily tried before and the products are always great."

The best beauty subscription box for big beauty brands

If you're a beauty obsessive, you'll be well-versed with Lookfanastic's online offering. Featuring some of the biggest and most coveted beauty brands out there, LOOKFANTASTIC's Beauty Box includes six curated products each month worth over £50. You can choose from a one, three, six or 12-month plan and get access to amazing limited edition boxes from brands like NEOM, Rodial and Molton Brown.

Review: "I loved every product inside the beauty box. Each one felt luxurious and I felt so fresh and nice once applying the different products. One of the products was the Rituals of Jing bath scrub and it got me hooked on the Rituals Jing collection so much so that I bought a couple more of their stuff. Amazing and worth it!"

The best beauty subscription box for pampering

Want to have your finger on the pulse of all the latest product releases? Roccabox lets you get your hands on exciting beauty must-haves from established brands and newbies in a convenient and inexpensive way. The team puts a huge focus on me-time, so every box is an excuse to pamper yourself when it arrives.

Review: "I subscribed to Roccabox when I became disappointed with a similar monthly subscription from elsewhere. I loved the first box as all the products were things that I could actually use. The 2nd box was just as good and I loved the anticipation of getting my Roccabox and opening it to find new products that are actually useable including brands that I haven't tried yet. I'm a Roccabox convert all the way!"

The best beauty subscription box for luxury products

This award-winning beauty subscription box from Cohorted is made for the premium product lovers out there.

Review: "Absolutely love the Cohorted Beauty boxes. They really are the best beauty subscription on the market, with premium brands and products. Each box is a slice of luxury and I look forward to my delivery every month."

The best beauty subscription box for shaving

Ugh, shaving. Friction Free Shaving (FFS) aims to bring a little sunshine to one of the most annoying parts of a woman's routine: hair removal. Fighting against the pink tax, plastic waste and animal testing, FFS has everything you need to revolutionise your shaving routine, conveniently delivered to your door whenever you choose. Voted the Best Women's Razor at the Product of the Year Awards 2019 (as well as a ton of other awards in other years), they're making waves in the beauty industry. If it's your first time buying you pay only £4.95 for the starter kit, which includes the shaving handle and a ton of bonus gifts. From then on, you pay £9.95 for razor blades to be delivered to your doorstep, from once a month to once every three months. You can also send used razors back to FFS to be recycled.

Review: "Just wow! It has revolutionised my shaving. Noticed a difference from the first time I used it. Really impressed"

The best beauty subscription box for cruelty-free beauty

Cruelty-free beauty lovers, listen up! The Vegan Kind makes it easy for you to discover new brands and help you make the switch to being totally cruelty-free. Boxes have an average value of £50 and contain at least five products - all vegan cosmetics, skincare and pamper products. You won't find any sachet samples here; that's a guarantee.

Review: "I’ve been getting the vegan kind subscription boxes for three years and I love them! I’ve never had any issue with deliveries, and I adore my boxes! Give them a try, it’s like having a birthday every month”

The best beauty subscription box for bathtime

Is there anything more soothing for your body and soul than a relaxing, pampering soak in the bath? If you're a serial bath-taker, ArtemisiaLore's bath bomb subscription service on Etsy is definitely something you should look into. Offering either a three, six or 12-month length subscription, Artemisia will send you a box once a month with a range of four bath bombs including some of the more ornate and elaborate Artemisia items. It's your monthly reminder to treat yourself.

Review: "Chose the bath bomb subscription as a gift for my partner and she absolutely loves it. The bombs are very nicely presented, wrapped in linen with a wax seal, and inside each is a card with an illustration and a little story describing the inspiration for the bomb’s formulation. The bombs are inspired by historical events/people, myths and stories and all have pretty dark undertones, which makes Artemisia’s bombs very unique in a market that is usually fairly saccharine in its presentation and makes them the perfect gift for anyone with goth tendencies! The fragrances of the bombs are gorgeous, evocative, grown-up, and decadent. The amount of effort put into the formulation and presentation of these bombs really sets them apart from others and makes the pricing extremely competitive. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase."

The best beauty subscription box for jewellery

Beauty self-care isn't all about skincare- it's also about the accessories you choose to wear. If you are looking to refresh your jewellery collection, Stylacity is perfect and will make sure you reinspire your everyday looks. One we've specifically picked out is their MystEARRINGous (get it 👀) because there are loads of options you can request if you're pickier about the jewellery you wear. Stylacity's description reads that every delivery contains "2-4 pairs of earrings worth at least double the price paid with a range of options to cater for all tastes. Each order is packaged in beautiful branded soft pink gift pouches within a glossy pink gift box."

The best beauty subscription box for fragrance

Getting tired of wearing the same scents day in, day out? Secret Scent Box is a fragrance subscription box that introduces you to new designer perfumes and aftershaves. With enough to last you 30 days, it can help you to choose a new favourite, or just to keep your perfume collection fresh and interesting.

Review: "I've been getting deliveries for a few months now. It's always a wonderful surprise when my delivery arrives. It's a great way to find out new scents and really handy to take to the office, also out and about!"

The best beauty subscription box for face masks

Given the rising popularity of K-Beauty over the past couple of years, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with the idea of posting all that Korean goodness through a letterbox. If you love a face mask, Mask Time will be well suited to you. For weekly face mask lovers, their Glow Starter Box gives you four curated sheet masks per month to keep your skin happy. Rarely seen without a sheet mask? Opt for the Glow Setter Box, delivering seven per month.
